Server usage:
-------------
$ ./stp-server
Runs on port 8000 by default. Further options can be seen with the --help flag:
$ ./stp-server --help
The server supports multiple HTTP PUT streams and multiple RTP/UDP and HTTP GET
streams for each PUT stream.
Usage with curl:
----------------
> Sending a stream (PUT) for only HTTP GET streaming:
$ curl -v "http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]?type=http" -T - < [video file]
This will use Chunked encoding and send the file in chunks.
Optionally, you can rate limit to emulate a live stream (--limit-rate)
Trying to create two streams on the same path will return a 409.
> Reading the webm output stream (GET):
$ curl -v "http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]" > [output file]
The server supports multiple PUT requests on different paths, and multiple GET
requests from these paths.
> Sending a stream (PUT) for only RTP-UDP streaming to 127.0.0.1:5004:
$ curl -v "http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]?type=rtp-udp&udp-clients=127.0.0.1:5004" -T - < [video file]
> Sending a stream (PUT) for both RTP-UDP and HTTP GET streaming:
$ curl -v "http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]?type=rtp-udp,http&udp-clients=127.0.0.1:5004" -T - < [video file]
> curl handles only HTTP, so there is no way to read the RTP-UDP stream using it
Usage with souphttp:
--------------------
> Sending a stream from a file (PUT) for only HTTP GET streaming:
$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=[video file] ! \
souphttpclientsink location="http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]?type=http"
This will use a persistent HTTP connection and Content-Length + Content-Range
headers to send the stream data.
> Sending a stream from a file (PUT) for only RTP-UDP streaming:
$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=[video file] ! \
souphttpclientsink location="http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]?type=rtp-udp&udp-clients=localhost:5004"
> Reading a webm output stream (GET):
$ gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc location="http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]" ! \
filesink location=[some output file]
> Reading an RTP-UDP output stream:
$ gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc host=127.0.0.1 port=5004 caps="application/x-rtp" ! \
rtpvp8depay ! vp8dec ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
> Sending a stream from a file (PUT) for both RTP-UDP and HTTP GET streaming:
$ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=[video file] ! \
souphttpclientsink location="http://localhost:8000/stream/[sessionid]?type=rtp-udp,http&udp-clients=localhost:5004"
"udp-clients" is a comma-separated list of UDP host:ports to broadcast the RTP
stream to.
Token Validation:
-----------------
When the --token-server option is specified, only valid sessionids
("[sessionid]" in the above examples) are allowed to PUT or GET streams. In
addition, for RTP-UDP streams, the host and port must also be valid. These are
checked as soon as a client connects, so these tokens must be added to the
server's internal list before a client can connect to the server. See the
REST-API file for details about this.
If --token-server is not specified, token validation is disabled.
